About 25% of my apps are from F-Droid. The rest are from Play Store. I want to use Aurora Store to install apps rather than Play Store.

I have installed Aurora Store. Do I simply remove Play Store from GrapheneOS and it will remove all the Play Store apps at once or do I need to first remove them one by one, then remove Play Store, then install each one via Aurora Store?

    IIRC apps in Aurora Store are signed with the same keys Google Play uses so the order doesn’t matter. You don’t have to reinstall your apps.

    How is Aurora working out for you? I heard that they came across a technical hiccup a week or two ago.

      I haven’t had enough time to fully look at it as I only just installed it a few days ago. I’m worried that if I uninstall Play Store and Google Services that the apps will no longer be sandboxed, though I’m not sure this is the case (I know enough to know that I don’t know anything).

    Be aware that just a few days ago Aurora Store’s anonymous login function suffered a big outage due to Google throttling the “fake” accounts it uses. It’s been working again since a few days, but it’s clear that Google doesn’t love it.

    EDIT: as pointed out by @mranderson17 the issue was different. Check his reply to my comment.
